Pre-1980 mill-town homes downtown
Inman has historic mill houses with character and charm, but they often hide aluminum branch wiring, polybutylene plumbing, asbestos siding, knob-and-tube electrical remnants, and lead paint behind charming exteriors. We know what to look for in older Inman housing stock.
Lake Bowen waterfront concerns
Lake Bowen homes bring unique inspection items: dock and seawall condition, retaining walls under stress, well systems, septic on lakefront lots, foundation issues from elevated water tables, and historic flood marks. We have years of Lake Bowen experience.
Well and septic on rural acreage
Toward Campobello, Landrum, Gowensville, and the Glassy Mountain area, rural properties run on well water and septic. We do bacteria, lead, nitrate, and pH water testing plus limited septic inspections, all bundled into one visit.
Foundation movement on red clay
North Spartanburg County's red clay soil expands and contracts with moisture, stressing foundations. We pay close attention to crawlspace piers, brick veneer cracks, interior drywall stress, and any past foundation repair attempts in older Inman homes.
HVAC at end-of-life
Many Inman homes built in the 1990s and early 2000s are now hitting end-of-life on their original HVAC systems. We test airflow, refrigerant pressure, and equipment age so you know if a $6-8K replacement is coming.
New construction on the edges of town
Inman's growth is happening at the edges. We inspect a lot of newer builds and routinely find rapid-construction defects: missing flashing, improper grading, framing shortcuts, undersized HVAC, and incomplete punch lists. New does not mean defect-free.
